Indiana Jones 5?

Short video on the De-aging sequence

Not surprising. Fascinating use of technology though. It's Hollywood, and I like how they use the technology for the most part.

Like I said, I would have been fine if the whole movie was that way

Indeed.

On Disney Plus on Dec 1st

I listened to the movie score for Dial of Destiny recently and I found it to be pretty forgettable

The only parts that stood to me where the parts that used callbacks to the original trilogy's themes

Not the best way for the legendary John Williams to go out

I felt pretty much the same way about the Star Wars Sequel trilogy, other than Kylo Ren's theme nothing stood out to me in all 3 movies. Even the terrible prequels had some great music in them

I didn't see this in theaters. I'll watch it on D+ though only because I'm already subscribed and I might as well.

On the one hand, I'd like to see them redeem the hot mess that was Crystal Skulls.

On the other, there's a very real possibility that it would be even worse than Crystal Skull. Maybe much worse.

Thoughts?
===============================================================

At the age of 71, Harrison Ford is eager to reprise his role as Indiana Jones.

The actor has played the adventurous archaeologist in four movies, most recently 2008's "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull," and he admits he would love to put on the character's fedora one more time. Ford acknowledges his advancing years might be a factor on set, and he would have to rely on a stuntman for the more energetic scenes....................



Harrison Ford wants one more go as Indiana Jones - MSN Movies News

I can see it now, Indiana Jones, and the legend of the hip replacement

 

[Optimus Prime]

……Mangold admits that he was at something of an impasse. Already assigned with the task of making a new "Indiana Jones" movie, he could either hire an 80-year-old Harrison Ford or cast a new actor.

Given the options, the former seemed vastly preferable, but Mangold understood that audiences would reject either. He described his dilemmas thus:

"You have a wonderful, brilliant actor who's in his 80s. [...] So I'm making a movie about this guy in his 80s, but his audience on one other level doesn't want to confront their hero at that age. And I am like, 'I'm good with it.' We made the movie. But the question is, how would anything have made the audience happy with that, other than having to start over again with a new guy?"

More than anything, though, Mangold understood that audiences rejected his film's themes of mortality. All heroes die, he wanted to say.

Action heroes, after all, live by a code of violence, often punching and killing hundreds of "bad guys" in the name of righteousness.

But all that murder must wear away a person's soul and doesn't necessarily warrant a cushy existence late in life.

Audiences accepted those themes in Mangold's "Logan" — about an elderly Wolverine — but rejected it with Indiana Jones. He said:

"Here come lifelong heroes from my childhood [Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy] into my life going, 'We have something for you to work on.' [It was a] joyous experience, but it hurt. In the sense that I really love Harrison and I wanted audiences to love him as he was, and to accept that that's part of what the movie has to say; that things come to an end. That's part of life." …..

How Director James Mangold Feels About Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny Flopping - SlashFilm

For director James Mangold, the flop status of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny has had a lasting impact. Here's what he had to say.

[Optimus Prime]

The latest Indiana Jones film may have failed at the box office, but Harrison Ford isn’t too upset about it.

Directed by James Mangold, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny sees Ford’s Dr Henry “Indiana” Jones Jr come up against an old Nazi adversary, played by Mads Mikkelsen, in 1969 to retrieve an ancient artefact which could change the course of history.

The 2023 film also stars Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Jones’s goddaughter Helena Shaw, Antonio Banderas, John Rhys-Davies, and Toby Jones.

Dial of Destiny opened to mostly mixed reviews and made $384m (£307.45m) worldwide, with the American media estimating a loss of $143m (£114.5m).

Ford shared in a new interview how he felt about the titular archaeologist’s adventure not doing so well at the box office. “S** happens,” the Oscar nominee told the Wall Street Journal...............

The new Indy video game is way better than the last 2 movies. True story.

Watched this again this past weekend

Still feel the same way about it, really do think that Sallah should have gone with Indy

70 year old Indy was for the most part plausible

No classic but worthy of being a part of the franchise and not a bad way to go out on
